Overall very nice ocean front facility, rooms are clean, older but comfortable. AC works well. Staff though not very well trained are trying their best to be helful. Food is good, lots of chices and close to authentic. Difficulty road to get to the hotel, then this is normal for Sri Lankan hotel outside of Colombo.

It is a nice peaceful resort. The staff especially in the resurant and pool side was so nice and friendly. The main drawback with this resort is it's not a good place during rainy season as it's on the bank of estuary. As the river water comes with force during rainy season the sea is muddy and cannot swim or play in the sea. The next thing is that the staff in the reception have no answer for anything you ask. If you ask what activities you have nearby they will tell you to Google. Tuk tuk is available if you walk to the main road, but they don't even help calling for one. So unless ypu have everything sorted it's better not to stay there as for all activities you have to go to either Mirissa or Weligama. If you are just coming to relax then it's a nice place. Food was not that great.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
OK, bur Not 4 star and rather worn down
It’s an ok hotel for the price if you are OK with a 3 star hotel that is worn. Nice pool area and beach, and friendly staff. Breakfast buffet is not good to be honest. Classes not clean, not big variety or quality. There is an omelette stand, but be aware of getting black “stuff” from the omelette pan on the eggs as well. We decided to leave the hotel for Marriott instead because of our expectations was not met. But lower your expectations from 4 star, then OK and good price.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Very disappointing stay.When i reached i informed them that i want to upgrade to bigger room because i have 1 more guest with me,so they said it is already full.Later the manager informed that they can upgrade to room with private pool and they will add 1 more single bed (initially no available room so ot means they alraedy changed my room). i was surprised that the pool is not functionning for more than 1 month and totally dirty. Also i requested indining 3 times but the food came after 2 hours. The room is dirty and espcially the tables.

We like the executive room not the room with the pool, the pool is too small and u the room is not renovated yet. The executive room with a jacuzzi was much better with the view the refurbishment and the shower inside

OK resorthotell
För en familj på tre, så kan vi säga följande: Fördelar med boendet: + Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal + Trevlig pool med olika djup + Barnstolar i restaurangen + Trevlig strand med fin utsikt + Stora rum, med stor balkong + Stor brett frukostutbud Nackdelar: - Löpbanden på gymmet fungerade ej, lite eftersatt gymutrustning som behöver lite kärlek från olja. - Renoveringar under vår tid där. - Om du är lat, så behöver du gå ut till vägen för att få en tuk-tuk om du inte låter hotellet beställa en åt dig.

Für und wider
Wir waren 4 Nächte im Hotel, davon 2 mit Abendbüffet. Das Hotel ist sehr schön angelegt,liegt abseits und ist normalerweise sehr ruhig. Wir hatten das Pech das in den 4 Tagen am Aufzug renoviert, die Solaranlage am Dach bearbeitet, bei der Beachbar irgendwas geschliffen wurde, die Wege behämmert und der Bereich um den Pool neu gestrichen wurde. Alles an sich nicht schlimm, in Summe ein bisschen mühsam, vor allem der Aufzug, das Stiegenhaus war ständig staubig und Werkzeug lag herum. Ansonsten ist es klein, aber fein, Strand okay, Essen auch gut, an dem "Abgewohntsein" arbeiten sie offenbar gerade :-) Leider sind der Speisesaal und auch die "Beachbar" nicht offen, sondern abgeschlossene Lokale, die sehr runtergekühlt sind. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und kennt sich mit Standardabläufen auch recht gut aus, aus der Norm fallende Fragen überfordern sie ein bisschen.

The resort and staff were fantastic. Needed to use a tuk tuk to get to nearby attractions, but small price to pay for the fantastic treatment we received at Mandara.
